    I rang an establishment outside Dublin today and asked do I need a test as I am travelling from Dublin. They said they need to check and will get back to me.

    Dr. Malcolm Kendrick makes the case for quickly building herd immunity by encouraging the young and healthy to get infected, while sheltering the vulnerable.
    So, I would ask people to turn their thinking around on COVID19. We have it within our power, right now, to get rid of COVID19 by the end of the year. Will this get rid of it forever – who knows – it may return in the winter. If not this winter, next winter?

    If we open up society there will be a cost, there will be deaths, that is inarguable. However, I believe that we will save far more lives by letting this disease spread in the younger, healthy population. We will save both children and adults, and we can return to normal life.

    Therefore, the proposal is simple. Work out who is most at risk, work out how to keep them shielded, then encourage everyone else to get out there and live their lives as before. [General Practitioners have already been asked to create lists of their patients who are most vulnerable, so most of this work has been done]. Once we have the infection rates sufficiently high to block viral spread, the entire population, including the elderly and vulnerable, can be released to live their lives as before.

    The alternative is to wait, in hope, for a vaccine. One that is almost certainly not going to get here before winter arrives in the Northern Hemisphere. By which time further irreparable harm will have been done, and thousands more lives will have been lost, unnecessarily.

    I think guideline is you shouldn't go. Can't see how you could get a test without symptoms.

    I heard a bit from the interview at 920 and they said it was from earlier.

    Did you hear it?

    Earlier would mean Morning Ireland and he's not listed as being interviewed on that but just in case I am currently listening to Covid 19 items and nothing on 1st segment

    How can people go abroad if the airport is in Dublin and you are not supposed to travel outside Dublin.
